I was just talking about that with some Viking friends of mine. In a related story, I was in a theater in Dallas watching Les Mis when the roof started to collapse under heavy rain. The play had just started and the beggars were singing the "look down, look down" part and I was like "No! Look up!" The roof was coming down in chunks, hitting several people with mostly drywall and insulation, so no one was seriously hurt, but it was a bit terrifying. Wasn't long after 9/11 and people were trampling each other to get out.

Philistine. Actually, you would've loved this one. It was about 3 minutes long. :-)

Had sideline tickets for that Bears game when the roof collapsed. The buddy who had the tickets and I couldn't go the following day when they played (we're not local). Still never had that kind of possible access since. And I'm still not over it!

If you saw the single piece of lightweight 'metal' panel that fell, it was very underwhelming compared to the dramatic stories about it, lol. It basically fluttered down like a leaf.
